What is included in hardscaping?
Hardscaping covers the non-living parts of a yard, the patios, walkways, walls and steps that give the space structure. A build starts with the base, the graded and compacted ground that keeps stone from settling or heaving through a freeze. On that base sits the material the customer sees, pavers, natural stone, block or poured concrete, laid to drain and fit the grade of the yard. Seat walls, steps and edging define the edges and add usable space.
A property needs hardscaping when the yard lacks usable outdoor space or the structure to hold it together. A slope with no path, a door with no landing, or a yard with no place to sit are all reasons to build. Hardscaping also addresses drainage and grade issues, moving water away from the house and giving the yard a frame. The build adds function that planting alone cannot.
The condition hardscaping addresses is a yard that needs structure, whether that is a patio to sit on, a walk to the door, or a wall to hold a slope. In northern Michigan, the work is built for frost and water, which move the ground through the year. A patio that holds up starts below what anyone sees, with a base that keeps the surface level through freeze and thaw.
The job is approached as a build, not a cleanup. The site is graded and the base is compacted before any stone is laid. The material is cut and fit to the layout, with drainage planned so water does not pool or run under the build. The work is separate from planting, though the two are planned together so the stone and the beds fit. The result is outdoor space that stays level and usable long after the build.
